==History==
Tacoma General's beginnings trace back to the earliest days of the city of Tacoma. Founded in 1882, seven years before Washington achieved statehood, the Fannie C. Paddock Memorial Hospital opened its doors in a former dance hall at 2511 North Starr Street〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=89231181〕 in what is now Old Town Tacoma. Frances (Fannie) Chester Fanning Paddock was the wife of John A Paddock, who was the first Episcopal bishop of Washington Territory. As Fannie Paddock prepared to move West to join her husband, she asked him what was the greatest need in Tacoma. He responded that they needed a hospital. She began raising money by asking her friends to support this cause, and had collected $500 before she started her journey to Tacoma. Mrs. Paddock fell ill during her trip west and died shortly after arriving in Portland. The hospital was named in her honor by her husband Bishop Paddock exactly one year after Fannie died.〔http://www.washingtonhistory.org/research/whc/milestones/centennial/pnwconference/egan/〕 Today, what was once the Fannie C. Paddock Memorial Hospital is now MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital, and the health care mission begun in that converted dance hall has evolved over the last 130 years into MultiCare Health System — the largest health care system in the South Puget Sound region. The name of the hospital was changed in 1912.〔http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images/dt6n.asp?un=7&pg=1&krequest=paddock&stemming=On&phonic=&fuzzy=&maxfiles=5000〕
